I join the overwhelming majority of Americans to demand an amendment to the United States Constitution to end the domination of big money in politics and give voice to all Americans.
 
I will stand with all Americans, without regard to party or other differences, and urge all candidates and elected officials to do the same, in order to pass and ratify such a constitutional amendment as soon as possible.

Take Action! How You Can Expand the Reach of the National Citizen Leadership Conference

Take Action! How You Can Expand the Reach of the National Citizen Leadership Conference

June 20, 2018
Published By American Promise

You can take concrete action to help end Big Money in politics this weekend at the NCLC—whether you will be in attendance or supporting from afar.

Starting tomorrow, the National Citizen Leadership Conference (NCLC) will connect hundreds of citizen leaders in the fight for the 28th amendment to get money out of politics. Many Americans report feeling disempowered and at a loss for how to create a government that works for people, not money. But you can make a difference—just do one of these action items to advance the 28th amendment—whether at the NCLC or at home. We want all of you to help us amplify the spirit and messages from the conference.

Attending NCLC? 5 Ways to Help Amplify the Event

  1. Add our NCLC photo frame to your social media profile pic! Show your support proudly with this custom NCLC social media frame.
  2. Post to social media! Help lift up this important event by posting updates to your personal social media accounts. Take pictures and share what you’ve learned at the conference with friends and followers using the hashtag #NCLC2018.
  3. Build community! At the conference, you will meet people from across the country who share your passion for getting money out of politics. Attend the many social activities scheduled to foster community-building, including a mix and mingle reception on the first day of the conference, June 22nd, and group exercises on Sunday, June 24th. Download the app Whova for a full list of events with descriptions.
  4. Talk to congress! On June 25th, the last day of the conference, attendees have the opportunity to apply what they learned over the weekend on Capitol Hill during our first Lobby Day event. Teams will be formed to meet with their members of Congress to advocate for the 28th amendment. Together, we can show our elected officials that their constituents want money out of politics.
  5. Take home an action item! While at the conference, keep an eye out for action items you can follow up on afterward: Joining or forming your local American Promise Association, reaching out to congresspeople by phone, writing a letter to the editor, or whatever other ideas inspire you in the fight for the 28th!
